Webkinz Craze Heats Up with New Webkinz Cheats, Players and Toys; Are You In?

It's a Plush Toy, it a Computer Game, No Wait -- It's Webkinz!

Webkinz - What are they?

They're cute, they're cuddly, and they're plush toys. However, they are not ordinary plush toys! Instead, the Webkinz toys are outfitted with a unique code that allows the recipient the opportunity for interconnectivity on the Internet. Using the code, Webkinz aficionados can play a virtual representation of their beloved plush toy on www.webkinz.com.

Webkinz World - Why do you need Webkinz cheats?

On the Internet there is Webkinz World, the place where virtual Webkinz plush toys interact and play. Openly geared toward the kids, the site allows them to earn Kinzcash (to outfit their virtual plush pet with virtual clothes and food), receive Webkinz Newz, engage in Kinzchat, and receive further marketing messages from Ganz, the parent company making Webkinz.

What differentiates Webkinz World from so many other sites geared toward kids is what worries some parents: they call it addictive. Last year ABC News reported that parents are keeping a critical eye on preschoolers who were spending hours of time online playing games and outfitting their virtual pets.

Underscoring some of the criticism's validity is the fact that numerous websites have sprung up suggesting ways to cheat in Webkinz World and offering new Webkinz cheats and even rating older Webkinz cheat codes. These codes do little more than help the player amass more and more Kinzcash.

This begs the question if it is the preschoolers that are becoming so savvy that cheats are needed, or if it is adults playing the game, and also interacting with the kids via Kinzchat.
